1
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: If you were listening to a fan morning show on

2
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: sports Radio ninety three five and one oh seven five fan,

3
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: good morning, it can only mean one thing as we

4
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: get ready to talk to basketball. It's getting in the

5
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: middle of December here, getting some games under our belt,

6
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: and things are going well over at Hinklefield House. For

7
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: our next guest, Dad Model, the head basketball coach for

8
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: the Butler Bulldogs, who joined us on the Paidlesslikers Hotline

9
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: this morning, Coach, I would think, so far, so good.

10
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: You're pretty pleased with the development of this team. Good morning,

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: And and are how are things going over there for you?

12
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: You know, pretty good? Pretty good?

13
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 3: We're uh, you know, like you said, I'm pleased with

14
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 3: the building that we're making. I still think we've got

15
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: a long long way to go, and but I think

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 3: every team's like that, every coach is like that. And

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 3: you know, we've got to act the stretch coming up

18
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 3: here starting Saturday. The boys, he stayed, a really really

19
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 3: good team. And our thing is is we tell our guys,

20
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 3: we just want to be better today than we were yesterday.

21
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 3: And you know, so far of this group is a

22
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 3: tremendous work ethic, and you know, we had a little

23
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: bit of a quick prep for Saturday's game. They haven't

24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 3: played for probably a week and a half since Maui,

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 3: And you know, we just got to keep keep uh coaching, teaching,

26
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 3: and doing the best we can to get our guys

27
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: the best they can be to play together. And I think,

28
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 3: you know, we're starting to cut down on more of

29
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 3: our mental mistakes. I'm never going to be completely satisfied

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 3: with that, but I don't know.

31
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: We're competing, and that's a good thing.

32
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 4: Sad when you look at Finley Bizjack and I was

33
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 4: actually watching some of his highlights the other day, how

34
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 4: long did it take you to be okay? With that

35
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: jump skip pass he does? It's kind of like a

36
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 4: wrap around that head. It's hard to describe, but it

37
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 4: looks fancy and you know it's pretty effective. But is

38
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 4: there a part of you that it's like, hold on, relax,

39
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 4: just be basic.

40
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 3: Well, if you remember, we we finally got Finn to

41
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 3: stop jumping on the bait or jumping out of bounds

42
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 3: and throwing it.

43
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: To the other team his first.

44
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: Year and a half here, and uh so, as long

45
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 3: as he's completing uh that pass that you're talking about him,

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: I'm perfectly fine with it. And but I'll say this,

47
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 3: he's a little bit of a risk taker and I

48
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: like that. I like guys that I don't want a

49
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: whole team full of him, that's for sure, but I

50
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 3: think that, you know, a lot of the things he

51
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 3: does is calculated. But you know, against Eastern Michigan, and

52
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 3: we talked about it with him, he had two turners

53
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: where he left his feet and uh and turned it

54
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 3: over and and and Finn wants to be a perfections.

55
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: He wants to play perfect every time and and uh,

56
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 3: you know, he's a very very coachable kid. But I

57
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: like the way that he's attacking right now on offense

58
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 3: and defense.

59
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: He's playing great defense.

60
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 5: Absolutely.

61
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's definitely someone I just feel like you want

62
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 4: to probably coach that down a little bit and try

63
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 4: to coach it up as far as the aggressiveness and

64
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 4: the creativity. And then looking at his overall numbers, what

65
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 4: do you think has led to him being not only

66
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 4: a better score this year probably more opportunity granted, but

67
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 4: also the efficiency because he's not you know, averaging nineteen

68
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 4: on twenty two shots. I mean, he's been a very

69
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 4: efficient player this year.

70
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: Well, you know, he can really really shoot the ball.

71
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 3: And he's still different in terms of how hard he

72
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: works on his game. And as I said, I think

73
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 3: last week things were starting to slow down for him

74
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: a little bit, just in terms of reading defenses and

75
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 3: reading situations. And that's the development you hope all your

76
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: players eventually make. And but no, he is. He's playing

77
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: very efficiently right now and us percentages are high, and

78
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: we need that with.

79
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: Him right now.

80
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 5: I started the year for the Butler bulldogstad Mota with

81
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 5: this year on the payloss Slickers hotline. As he said,

82
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 5: Boise State coming up on Saturday, Red Panda in the

83
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 5: building at Hinklefield House Saturday after tell you.

84
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: Guys, I tell you guys a great story.

85
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 3: Yes, when when I was retired, like I was going

86
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: to Butler games, I never knew that they did halftime shows.

87
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: I never knew that they did stuff at timeouts like

88
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 3: butting a golf ball or you know, run around a

89
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: baseball bat and trying to make a layup.

90
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: And I didn't know that. I was always busy.

91
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: And so this lady comes out on a unicycle or

92
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 3: whatever it's called, and I'm like, what is going on?

93
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 3: And my wife says, watching She's going to throw these

94
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 3: balls up and she never drops. I've seen this for years,

95
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 3: and it was the first time ever. I guess she

96
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 3: had dropped them, and she dropped two of them or something,

97
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 3: and my friends and I still laugh about it because

98
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 3: I'd never seen it before. That's one of the coolest

99
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 3: things I've ever seen, though, that lady doing that.

100
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 5: She's the top five athlete of our generation.

101
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: Coach, Oh, without a doubt, without a doubt.

102
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: I mean, you think about the coordination, you have to have,

103
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 3: the concentration. I mean, that's that's big time.

104
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 5: The bright light of Hinkle get to everybody here, and

105
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 5: you're hoping it gets to the road team coming on

106
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 5: on Saturday. I want to go back to Tuesday Night. Mark,

107
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 5: our great producer, played a little Western music for you

108
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 5: on the lead in that got a little got a

109
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 5: little Western chippiness. Uh on Tuesday night? Did it not?

110
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: It really did? It really did.

111
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 3: In fact, I, uh, my daughter and I were talking

112
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: after a game, we're going to get a player rejected

113
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 3: every game to get the crowd going.

114
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: Our crowd got into.

115
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 3: That game after that thing happened, and uh No, that

116
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: was a kind of electrified Hinkle, which hopefully he will

117
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,799
Speaker 3: continue and uh, but that was that was a rough

118
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 3: physical uh you know, loose balls scrapping and Eastern Michigan

119
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 3: was playing really hard as well.

120
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 5: Any update on the ankle Andrew Jalen Jackson, No.

121
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 3: We're still uh waiting him and he's out, he's still

122
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 3: in the boot and and uh we just we we

123
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 3: don't know yet. You know, hopefully we're going to know

124
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: something here, but he has he has not practiced, so

125
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 3: you know, we definitely definitely miss him. There's no question

126
00:05:59,080 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: about that.

127
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: I like that, get back to that chippiness. The other

128
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: night there was a quote in the Indie Star from

129
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: Findley Bisjack who said, we had a media timeout and

130
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: I told everyone this is a bar fight. Do you

131
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: remember that moment?

132
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: I don't think I was in there yet, but I

133
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: like that.

134
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 3: I like that and it's kind of what it turned into,

135
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 3: just with the physicality, there's no question about it.

136
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: So what do we need to get done here as

137
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: a team between now and really the full on start

138
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: of conference playing a couple of weeks, Like, what do

139
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: you want to get accomplished here?

140
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 2: Well?

141
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 3: I want to continue to develop our offense and just

142
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 3: continue to get our flow better, and I think we

143
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 3: get the ball moving quicker and we get to cut harder.

144
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 3: I think, you know, defensively, continuing to know the coverages

145
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 3: that we're in and which are ever changing. It depends

146
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 3: on who we have in the game, who they have

147
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: in the game, and just just alleviating, you know, some

148
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 3: of the mental mistake and which is you know, it's

149
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 3: playing games, it's it's teaching, coaching and film their long,

150
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 3: long film session yesterday, and you know, just just trying

151
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: to continue to play better basketball, sound er basketball, and

152
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: and doing all the fundamental things. And you know, I

153
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: tell you guys every day and we can't take a

154
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: step forward take two steps backwards.

155
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: We gotta we gotta keep moving forward. And these guys

156
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: have been good with that.

157
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 4: One more from me, Stink Robinson. I remember watching him

158
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,920
